Background

A personal style built through study, trust, and deliberate craft.

Pete is one of Chicago’s leading tattoo artists, specializing in black and grey realism and blackwork tattoos. He is known for deliberate, strategic shading that gives his designs depth and lift on the skin.

After studying under respected legends in the tattoo community, he developed the technical foundation needed to build a personal style that feels controlled, intentional, and distinct.

With the trust of his clients, Pete takes their ideas seriously and works to return something beyond expectation. He approaches every project as a chance to help someone level up their confidence, aesthetic, and sense of self.
